NEW YORK, (JTA)- Federal authorities have met discreetly with leaders of Jewish organizations in recent days to advise them to take extra precautions in screening incoming mail; especially mail postmarked from Italy and Malaysia, on the possibility that it may contain explosives, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned this week. The authorities have warned Jewish leaders to scrutinize all their mail, whether let¬ ters or bulky packages, for any suspicious content. If mail seems suspicious in any way, the authorities have advised, the recipients should set it aside unopened and call either police or postal authorities. They warned that this procedure should be followed even if the ^jn.ame.-of-.-the sender is familiar to the recipient./
Federal authorities have not said that any one Jewish-* organization or leader is earmarked to receive letter bombs but as one spokesman put it, "We're covering the field in order to safeguard all- organizations from any possible danger." The meetings with- Jewish leaders were part of an in¬ tensive campaign announced by the White House; following the spate of; letter bombs mailed to Jewish and Israeli

Earlier letter bombs were postmarked Amsterdam but the most recent ones have come from Malaysia. Postal authorities in New York were checking all Hadassah mail following receipt of letter bombs from Malaysia by Mrs. Rose L. Halprin honorary vice-president of Hadassah, and Hannah" Goldberg, former executive, director of the women's Zionist organization. Mrs. Halprin received the booby-
trapped letter at her home in Manhattan. The one ad¬ dressed to Miss Goldberg came to the Hadassah office. Both letters were opened but in each case the explosive device inside failed to 'detonate.
Mrs. Haljirin told the JTA that there was "absolutely no alarm" at the Hadassah office which has about 100 employees, mostly women. She said the office routine has not been affected. Ilane Kaplan, executive secretary, said stringent security measures have been in-

Slepak was arrested Sept. 19 during a hunger strike to protest the new emigration fees and was imprisoned for approximately two weeks, according to the sources.
